Hello Mal,

thank you very much for my first MF/LF=20 crossband QSO - this was a great pleasure indeed. Actually during my se= cond=20 transmission, the strongest local noise source went off, and I=20 could make out your signal aurally quite well. So I tried to call again= in=20 CW, but probably didn't make it through the statics on 137.=20

Many thanks also to Roman and Marco wh= o sent=20 good screenshots from both ends of the contact.

Setting up the rig here was a little advent= urous.=20 The little DE-1103 radio is fed by a parallel resonant circuit and a diode=20 limiter. It is now capacitively coupled to the TX antenna by a sho= rt=20 open ended piece of wire, placed in the proximity of the high side of t= he=20 loading coil - hoping the 3 cm gap would hold 15 kV transmit=20 voltage.

At the moment, I have perfect CW copy from=20= both=20 GI4DPE and GI3PDN.

Best wishes
